The Impact Of Different Rotation Patterns On The Sampling Variance Of Seasonally Adjusted And Trend Estimates, Craig Mclaren, David Steel Jun 2013

The Impact Of Different Rotation Patterns On The Sampling Variance Of Seasonally Adjusted And Trend Estimates, Craig Mclaren, David Steel

Professor David Steel

Many economic and social time series are based on sample surveys which have complex sample designs. The sample design affects the properties of the time series. In particular, the overlap of the sample from period to period affects the variability of the time series of survey estimates, and the seasonally adjusted and trend estimates produced from them. The Census X11 and X11ARIMA packages are commonly used to produce seasonally adjusted estimates and can also be used to produce estimates of trend. This paper considers the implications of different overlap patterns on the sampling variance of seasonally adjusted and trend estimates …

LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries has been synthesized by the sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement results indicated that single-phase NMC with hexagonal layered structure was obtained. Scanning electron microscope images revealed well crystallized NMC with uniform particle size in the range of 100-200 nm. The performance of the NMC electrodes with sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose (CMC), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and alginate from brown algae as binders was compared. Constant current charge-discharge test results demonstrated that the NMC electrode using CMC as binder had the highest rate capability, followed by those using alginate and PVDF …
